Dems Deploy The "Messaging" Excuse

Oh, yeah, Pubs do it too--every time they lose. It's always the messaging...never the message. Here's a paradigm example from Bill Press:

Democrats are good at a lot of things.They have a lot of good ideas, like child care, universal pre-K, cheaper prescription drugs, and family and medical leave. But here’s one thing they’re not good at: selling their own story.

So, so many good ideas!  They have the best ideas, folks! But they're just not good at salesmanship, you see! The substance is basically perfect! But, y'know, people who are, like, so deep into, like, y'know, policy? Like, sort of eggheads? I mean, messaging is just beyond them, right? Beneath them, really...

   Just keep telling yourselves that, blues.

   I mean really: keep it up.

   I really, really want you to.

   I'm fine with the Pubs beating you like rented donkeys well into the future. 

   Besides, I thought the Dems had given up the old tried-and-true we-just-didn't-get-our-message-across bullshit for their new all-purpose excuse: RACISM!!!!111? 

   Maybe they could combine the two:  We lost because we didn't get our message across...which is: YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF RACISTS.

   Surely if the American public just understood that they're all a bunch of racists, more of them would have voted for the blue team...
